Australia is the sixth largest country in the world. It's about the same size as the 48 mainland states of the USA and 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world - only two people per square kilometre.

Taken with Canon PowerShot A80 on the 17th October at Legends Reef, Shell Harbour. The viz was less than 10m and the nudis were out in full force. It must be mating season, because we saw stacks of the little critters being rudi-nudi! (Hypsolodoris bennetti - Wandy) Photocomp October '04 - Open
